To all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that I, THOMAS H. RiNcRosE, a subject of the Kingof Great Britain, residing at Jamestown, in the county of Chautauqua and State of New York, have in vented certain new and useful Improvements in Combination Games and Stop- Beads, of which the followingpis a specifical tion.

My invention relates to a combination came and stop bead, preferably for art glass windows adapted to be secured within a window sash.

The object of my invention is the provision of a combination came and stop bead of single construction and by means of which lights of glass may kbe quickly and securely fastened at minimum cost in either a wood or metal sash.

A further object of my invention is to so construct the combination came and'stop bead that in the preparation Vof the same into frame form to receive the lights of glass, considerable time and expense is saved over that now necessary under present methods.

I am aware that it is not new to provide a metallic came for art window frames and that various means of securingk the frame, or came-frame as it may be called, within a sash are now resorted to; among such means being a separate stop bead, invariably constructed of steel, which material is found necessary to retain-the came in proper shape and alinement. Putty has, however, been most extensively used in securing the cameframe in the sash, and as this has thus far been considered the most practicable and economical, very little use has been made of separate stop beads. Putty, however, soon becomes loosened and separate stop beads require fine fitting,` and by reason of its being necessary to employ steel on ac count of its rigidity, these stop beads quickly corrode and become useless, it being understood that the cames are always constructed of a soft non-corrosive metal.

When constructing the came and stop bead in one piece, as provided for in this invention, a considerable saving in metal results in each lineal foot of material, with all other costs brought on by the use of separate stop beads entirely eliminated.

When using a came and a separate stop bead in the construction of a came-frame,

each is separately constructed, 'separately straightened and mitered at the angles, andv separately welded and painted, but incombining the came and stop bead, both are straightened in one operation; also mitered at the angles in one operation, as well as the angles properly welded and all flux cleaned up and polished and both painted at a sav-- ing of a considerable sum for each window,

in addition to the saving in the cost of manufacture.

IVith the above objects in view, my invention consists in a combination came and stop bead, and it further consists in the novel features of construction to be hereinafter described and particularly pointed out in the subjoined claims.

In the drawings.-Figure 1 is a view of a portion of a building showing a window equipped with my invention; each sash being shown as having a single light of glass, but it is to be understood that my construction is invariably used in connection with art glass windows in which numerous lights or pieces of glass constitute a single window, the lights or pieces of glass being joined together by suitable soft metal division members or sash bars. Fig. 2 is an enlarged cross section taken on line 2 2, Fig. l. Fig. 3 is a sectional perspective view of aportion of my combination came and stop bead. vReferring"now'to the drawings in detail, corresponding letters of reference refer to corresponding parts in the several figures.

The reference letter A represents a window sash which may be made of wood, metal, or any other suitable material, and I wish here to state that by the word sash I intend to include all means of supports for the combination came and stop bead frame, more generally referred to as the cameframe.

As shown in the drawings, the sash is rabbeted at a., for the reception of the metallic bound window, the metallic ybinding or came-frame for the window consisting of my improved came and stop bead, which in preferred form is constructed of lead or other soft metal, or of an alloy, and has an inner H-shaped portion B which provides a glass receiving channel C and two supporting legs or flanges D extending from the cross bar E of the H formation, and also a stop bead F integral with said H-shaped came and extending laterally therefrom,the

the came portion may bevariouslyformed three longitudinally-disposed lianges, the intermediate supporting iange mental formation, if desired.

serving to prevent the soft web portion con- VnectingY saidY flanges bulging outwardly,

while the inner half of said H-shaped portion vtornas a glass receiving groove.

Itis clear that the supporting legs or flanges D may be dispensed with and that so long as it provides a groove for the receptionof the glass and proper means of supe port against the sash; also that the stop bead may be variously formed so long as it extends outwardly from the came portion and is-made integral therewith.

In the particular construction disclosed securing screws H are passed through the web f of the device and take into the sash,

thus holding. the device securely in place.

I represents the glass which has its marginal portion fitting into the groove of the came portion of the frame,Y the same being held in place by rolling the walls of the groove in contact with the glass or otherwise securing the glass` within the groove. Y

It is to be noted that by Vconstructing the stop bead in piece with the came, said stop bead may be made hollow; also that it requires `no support against the sash at its inner marginal portion since the came acts to Ysupport the bead. This results in a considerable saving of metal in each lineal foot of the (frame, and as hereinbefore stated, no separate operations are required in the manufacture of the combination came and Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by Yaddressing the came stop bead, or in the formation of the same into frame form for a window.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is.`

l. The combination with a sash, of a combined came and stop bead comprising an H- shaped portion having corresponding ends vof its legsin contact with the sash, a web extending outwardly from said H-shaped portion and having an angular outer marginal portion bearing against said sash,` and fastening means passing through said web and entering said sash. V

2. -A frame for windows formed of soft metal and comprising a glass receiving portion having two spaced parallel members and a cross bar connecting said members between their .ends to provide a-glass receiving channel and a pair of supporting legs, and an integral stop bead extending laterally from one of said parallel members, one ofsaidsupporting legs being arranged lengthwise between side edges ofV said frame to retain the parts in proper position.

3. A frame for windows formed of soft metal and comprising a base having three parallel longitudinally-disposed supporting iangesl and a transverse web connecting said supporting flanges, said -lianges extending from one face of said web, and twov spaced longitudinally-disposed flanges projecting from the opposite face of saidr web forming a glass-receiving groove, the intermediate supporting flange preventingbulg ing of said web outwardly.

In testimony whereof I aiiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
